Shivraj Singh Chouhan was Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister from 2005 to 2018 and again from 2020 to 2023. He became the Chief Minister for the first time in 2005 after replacing Babulal Gaur. He remained the CM till December 2018 when the Congress party became the single largest party in the state and Kamal Nath became the Chief Minister. However, the Congress government in the state was short-lived and Shivraj Singh Chouhan again became the CM in March 2020 after the Jyotiraditya Scindia's rebellion. He was the longest-serving Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh. The Bharatiya Janata Party leader has been representing the Budhni constituency in the Madhya Pradesh Assembly since 2006 winning it in a bypoll. He won the seat in 2008, 2013 and 2018 also by defeating Congress candidates Mahesh Singh Rajput, Dr Mahendra Singh Chauhan and Arun Subhashchandra Yadav respectively. In the 2023 Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections, Chouhan again won the Budhni seat by defeating Congress candidate Vikram Mastal Sharma with a margin of 1,04,974 votes. The BJP again won the decisive mandate in the state but Chouhan was replaced with Dr Mohan Yadav. Chouhan first represented Budhni in 1990 when he won the seat by defeating Congress candidate Hari Singh with a margin of over 22,000 votes. Chouhan won the Vidisha Lok Sabha constituency in 1991 (bypoll), 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2004. Chouhan won a bypoll from Vidisha in 1991 after BJP stalwart Atal Bihari Vajpayee retained his Lucknow seat and left Vidisha. He was also the former vice president of the BJP from 2019 to 2020. Chouhan is again contesting from the Vidisha Lok Sabha constituency.
